UPCOMING EVENTS

Fourth and D.C. Circuit Moot Court Event

February 17, 2025

The Education Committee of the Fourth and DC Circuits is pleased to announce a 2025 American College of Bankruptcy Moot Court on Monday, February 17, 2025. (Please find the application package here.)

The event is co-sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute.

The moot in-person will be held at the Prettyman Courthouse, 333 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington D.C., 20001. 

The day promises to be a great opportunity for the talented students who compete, as they gain experience and get valuable feedback from the judges who will serve as moot court judges.

FAQS on the regional moot:

• Applications are due by 5 p.m. Eastern on December 6, 2024. (Early applications happily accepted.)
• We anticipate three preliminary rounds with each team presenting arguments for the petitioner and the respondent, and a final round.
• Teams do not need to submit briefs. (Teams who have not prepared the brief required for the Duberstein, however, might be disadvantaged in preparing their arguments.)

Please help us spread the word about this competition! 

2025 International Bankruptcy Course

January 14, 2025

For many years, the College has sponsored a semester-long class on international bankruptcy. The class is offered annually during the spring semester at many law schools. The lecturers include some of the leading international insolvency academics, practitioners and judges in the world, many of whom are College Fellows.

For the 2025 semester, the College is pleased to announce that it is once again offering all Fellows and their firms the opportunity to audit all, or any portion, of the course, with a deep discount for firms who sponsor the College through the Patrons and Sponsors program. The classes are presented live (via Zoom) on 13 consecutive Tuesday nights starting January 14, 2025, from 6:40 pm ET to 8:20 pm ET. For those who are unable to attend live, recordings of each session are posted within 48 hours of the class. Extensive reference materials are also posted for each class. You may find more details on the College website.
